Golf Residences Masterplan
2017
A resort residential precedent featuring deep recessed balconies and vertical timber sun-shading screens overlooking a curving infinity pool.
- What we like about this project
- Curving mosaic-tiled pool edge acts as an overflow basin framing the foreground.

- Geometry
- Multi-story stepped block featuring asymmetrical balcony offsets and vertical wood-slat screening elements that modulate the facade plane.
- Facade system
- Stucco cavity wall with recessed balconies and operable timber screen louvers.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame with flat slabs and column grid.
- Spatial scale
- Mid-rise resort residential scale; about four stories over pool-deck podium level.
- Lighting
- Golden hour low-sun illumination creating warm highlights across the facade surfaces and casting long, soft shadows.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, relaxed luxury under late afternoon sun.
- Environmental context
- Arid coastal resort or golf masterplan setting with palm trees, drought-tolerant grasses, and open sky.
- Spatial experience
- The foreground swimming pool frames the resort architecture, moving the eye from lush native planting across the water surface to the sheltered balconies.
- Composition rhythm
- Alternating glazed openings and vertical timber louvers create a staccato rhythm across the white mass.
